DooBDee.net is currently in the progress of porting the free phpBB3 styles to free wordpress themes.  Hopefully all styles and colour schemes on the free phpbb3 styles page will soon be ported to free wordpress themes (with matching colour schemes).

Permission has been gained through the original creator of the phpBB themes to allow them to be ported and distributed on DooBDee.net for download:

“Sure, you can do that. “

Currently, only the AcidTech wordpress theme and its colour schemes are available and are being tested for bugs before I release other ports from ST Software.

Please post any comments or bugs you may have in the new releases support forum which is newly available, providing dedicated support to items and releases on DooBDee.net.  Thanks!
